The title of the proposal is Thunderstorm Effects in Space: Technology (TEST) Nanosatellite. This two-year grant will provide a total of $100,000 for the design and fabrication of a 35-pound nanosatellite with dimensions nine inches by nine inches by 18 inches. "[The grant] keeps Taylor University at the forefront of space science and the growing field of nanosatellite technology," said Adam Bennett '01, member of the TU physics department. "Through this grant, Taylor students will have the opportunity to work with top graduate schools, industries, NASA and the AFOSR." Although Taylor will be the lead institution, partners in the proposal include the University of Illinois and Nanostar Technologies, Inc. Taylor will subcontract the University of Illinois electrical engineering department for two scientific instruments, and Nanostar Technologies, Inc., for the development of an altitude control system. Nanostar Technologies, Inc., is a corporation located in Grant County, Ind., started by Taylor University graduates. Taylor University is the only undergraduate university to win in this competition. The other eleven winning universities include Pennsylvania State University, University of Colorado, New Mexico State University, Michigan Technological University, Montana State University, University of Texas, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Arizona State University, University of Hawaii, Washington University and Utah State University. The thunderstorm nanosatellite will be the second satellite designed and built by Taylor University physics research faculty, staff and students. The first project, TU Sat 1, is currently undergoing tests for a planned launch later in 2003. TU Sat 1, a communications nanosatellite, Taylor is emerging as a leader in nanosatellite technology in is the first satellite to be entirely designed and fabricated Indiana, and the new U.S. Air Force grant offers added momentum. in the state of Indiana.

  • Spanish Open Dictionary by Alfredo Edgardo Alvarez Ahumada VOL12
    SPANISH DICTIONARY Alfredo Edgardo Alvarez Ahumada Dictionary of meanings generated by www.wordmeaning.org INTRODUCTION www.wordmeaning.org is an open and collaborative dictionary project that, apart from being able to consult meanings of words, also offers its users the possibility of including new words or nuancing the meaning of existing words in it. As is understandable, this project would be impossible to carry out without the esteemed collaboration of the people who follow us around the world. This e-Book, therefore, was born with the intention of paying a small tribute to all our collaborators. Alfredo Edgardo Alvarez Ahumada has contributed to the dictionary with 9909 meanings that we have approved and collected in this small book. We hope that the reader is very valuable and if you find it useful or want to be part of the project, do not hesitate to visit our website, we will be delighted to receive you.
